haha its tape over the ankles and cleats. i dont see anywhere on there where it says every player must match cleats. im sure its just like previous years, guys can wear black cleats or team color cleats.

From Rules link:

Players are allowed to choose which brand of shoe they wish to wear.

Tape on shoes must be transparent or match the color of the shoes.

Personalized messages on shoes is prohibited.

The league's uniform policy stipulates that a team must declare itself a "black shoe" team or "white shoe" team prior to the season.

i mean last year. i know banks went w the all black cleats and paid for it. but what about the guys who had yellow accents vs the guys who had white accents?

my impression is those are both fine, since the base color of the shoe is black. the all yellow ones that deangelo, carlos and laron wore all burgundy ones are not allowed and they get fined for those. BUT im not sure this year since nike said they are coming out with team color cleats

i thought both were fine too, so i guess they don't enforce that rule.

i could have sworn we had players w yellow accents and players w white accents on the same field at the same time

Yea and I thought some teams had like mostly one color shoe. Remember Portis and his yellow shoes? didnt' they tell him that he had to wear the same color as the rest of the team and if the team all wore yellow then that was fine?

I think the teams can wear whatever color they want so long as they all wear the same color. for some reason the tape issue I thought was to cover up the name brand of shoe not authorized by the league. In other words if the league is using Nike your fine but if you want to wear Reebok then you have to cover up the logo.

Portis was fined $20,000 for those shoes that didn't match the team. He constantly did things to draw fines and did not care. In that game, he was fined for the shoes, his socks and his tinted eye shield. They fined Sean Taylor $5000 that game for his striped socks too.
